AI-Rad Companion Brain MR

Siemens Healthineers
AI-Rad Companion Brain MR performs an automatic segmentation of the different brain areas, including an individual volumetric analysis. It compares the different volumes to a normative database and automatically generates a highlighted deviation map, so volumetric changes can be monitored. Additionally the brain White Matter Hyperintensities (WMH) feature provides WMH counts, volumes and locations. The product offers a longitudinal comparison of different timepoints.

The AI-Rad Companion Brain MR lists all measurements including the deviations in a structured report that is automatically sent to the connected PACS system.
